Leadership growth is the result of a process not an event

Going to a conference can be helpful. Reading a book or a blog is a good way to acquire important information. But good information is not enough.

Growth begins when I challenge my old thinking with new information to gain understanding. It accelerates when I apply what is important to real issues in my world and try something new.

Learning that leads to personal growth combines information, understanding, action and feedback over time.

That is what the Pastoral Wellness Pathway provides. Information, reflection, action, and feedback over time in the context of real ministry and supportive relationships.

Leadership growth is not limited to a single pathway or set of experiences. The path will vary from individual to individual and situation to situation. Healthy pastors are not the product of an assembly line. They are not mass-produced. They are custom produced by the providence God for the assignment He chooses.
